Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2018 8:46 pm Post subject: Chrome constantly freezes the whole system |
|
|
After an update on 18th of March, my chrome started slowing down the whole system.
It becomes very obvious when I navigate to a website that has a lot of animations for example, like giphy.com. I tested Firefox and it performs as expected.
When these freezes happen - chrome's CPU usage is through the roof, and when moving the mouse fast, the cursor freezes for ~0.5 seconds and then jumps 200-300px at a time.
Looks like at least one other person has (or had) the same problem and confirmed that in this thread: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1077690-highlight-chrome.html
Has anyone else seen anything like that or has any ideas?
Many thanks! |

That's a good question! The OpenGL itself is definitely operational - I can play CS:GO and other games. How do I check if it works for chrome/system? WebGL seems to also work as expected when I try http://arodic.github.io/p/jellyfish/ with 9999 jellyfish (it gives me ~25fps, and no visible lag to the system/cursor/anything) |

If it's broken you'll see a lot of red text in chrome://gpu (along with other symptoms like laggy scrolling), but it sounds like that's not the root cause. Posting a glxinfo -B wouldn't hurt. |

Is there a way to check if it is video-card/opengl related issue? Because I am not completely sold on that it is, after all, webgl works perfectly fine.

Try to disable 'Use hardware acceleration when available' option in settings _________________ Questions are guaranteed in life; Answers aren't. |

That worked, it will definitely do as a temporary workaround - thank you!! Any idea on what may be causing hardware acceleration to lag the system? |

First step is checking if a older version of nvidia-driver cause problem.
I finded this on nvidia forum https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1029164/linux/chrome-tearing/ _________________ Questions are guaranteed in life; Answers aren't. |

Thank you so much for the link provided. I will test downgrading chrome and/or nvidia-drivers on the weekend or next week and will post back the results. |
